Official URL: http://linuxforhealth.org/fhir/cdm/ValueSet/gender-identity Version: 8.0.0
Active as of 2022-11-10 Computable Name: GenderIdentityValueSet

Typically, gender identity codes are described in terms of masculinity and femininity. Gender identity is a social construct that varies, both across different cultures and over time. This value is often used for identity purposes, and should be collected directly from the patient.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
System The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance)
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
Definition An explanation of the meaning of the concept
Comments Additional notes about how to use the code
